Troop 1128 Parents Manual April 2018 - BLANK PAGE - Troop 1128 Parents Manual April 2018 INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Troop 1128 family! We are delighted that you and your son chose to become part of the Troop. Troop 1128 has been in existence for over 55 years. The Troop’s adult leaders and committee aim to provide a top-quality Scout program with fun outdoor experiences and opportunities for your son to grow into a young man with character, leadership skills, and self- reliance. We hope that your family’s involvement in the Troop will be as meaningful to you as it has been to us. To ease your transition into our Troop and Boy Scouting, we have assembled in this book a lot of information about the Troop and Scouting. We recognize that there is a lot of material here for new Scout families to absorb, but we hope that it will be helpful for you. If you have any questions about the Troop or Scouting, your son is encouraged to ask his Patrol Leader, or you are welcome to ask any of the adult leaders of the Troop. Although the Troop is blessed to have many very committed adult leaders, it takes a lot of people to provide a quality Scout program. Becoming involved in the Troop as an adult is a great way for you to share in your son’s Scouting experience and make a difference in the lives of other youth in the community. We hope you will consider becoming involved in helping deliver a great Scouting experience for the Scouts of Troop 1128. Troop 1128 Parents Manual April 2018 TROOP ORGANIZATION Troop Structure: The Boy Scout program is youth-led. The principal youth leader in the Troop is the Senior Patrol Leader (SPL), who is assisted by the rest of our Patrol Leaders Council (PLC). The PLC consists of the SPL, an Assistant Senior Patrol Leader (ASPL), the Patrol Leaders of our six patrols, and the Troop Guides that mentor new Scouts. With the guidance of the Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters (ASMs), they plan the program, conduct Troop meetings, and provide leadership among their peers. Steve Englund is transitioning into the Scoutmaster position effective May 1, 2018, upon the retirement of Bob Leggett. Bob has been the Scoutmaster for over 38 years and built the Troop into what it is today. Steve is committed to maintaining a high-quality program for the Scouts and has been recognized in the district and council for his previous efforts in Scouting. Steve will be assisted by a number of dedicated ASMs who bring a wealth of talent to the Troop. Troop Committee: The Troop Committee is chaired by the Troop Committee Chairman and is responsible for providing administrative and logistical support for the Troop program. Members of the Troop Committee are registered adult volunteers (collectively with the Scoutmaster and ASMs referred to as Scouters). Functions of the Troop Committee include reviewing the Troop program, managing the Troop’s finances, maintaining advancement and training records, coordinating the Troop merit badge program, managing event sign-ups, providing transportation, procuring equipment and awards, operating the Troop website, and planning special events. The Committee meets on a monthly basis, generally on the third Tuesday of every month, from 7:45 to 8:45 P.M. at Andrew Chapel. The efforts of the Committee members allow the Troop to carry out its program smoothly. One of the most important functions of the Troop Committee is to conduct Boards of Review (BoR), which are required for Scouts to advance in rank. The Board of Review provides an excellent opportunity for parents to talk with Scouts about their experience in the Troop and solicit suggestions for improving Troop activities and programs. All parents not involved as an Assistant Scoutmaster are encouraged to join the committee. Experience has shown that Scouts with parents who are actively involved in the Troop are much more likely to remain active and progress to First Class rank and beyond. Troop Meetings: Troop meetings are held once a week on Tuesdays, 7:30 — 8:45 P.M. at Andrew Chapel United Methodist Church. Scouts must wear the complete designated Boy Scout uniform, generally referred to as the “Class A” uniform to each Troop meeting. Please consult Appendix B at the end of this manual for uniform specifications and a list of places where uniforms can be purchased. Also included in Appendix B is a list of recommended personal camping gear. The purchase of a Boy Scout Handbook is mandatory. The Handbook should be brought to every meeting since it provides the basic requirements for and serves as a primary record of accomplishments such as merit badges and advancements. The weekly Troop meetings are normally organized around specific themes, providing an opportunity for the Scouts to learn new skills and preparing them for an upcoming camping trip or activity. The Scouts are expected to attend meetings and to participate in the various activities. (See “What Is Expected of the Scout”) Patrol Method: Troop 1128 uses the “Patrol Method,” in which small groups of Scouts (Patrols) working together as a team are the focus of troop organization and program delivery. Troop 1128 is made up of six patrols. Each patrol consists of approximately 12-14 Scouts, with an elected Patrol Leader (PL). Patrol members camp together, participate in activities together, learn new Troop 1128 Parents Manual April 2018 skills together, and share responsibility for the patrol's success. Patrols provide Scouts an opportunity to learn to cooperate and to accept responsibility. Scouts also gain confidence by serving in positions of patrol leadership. Everyone pitches in, and the Scouts quickly learn to take pride in their patrol’s accomplishments. Two Assistant Scoutmasters are assigned to each patrol to mentor the patrol leadership. These ASMs are referred to as Patrol Assistant Scoutmasters (PASMs). One of the PASMs is designated as the Senior Patrol Assistant Scoutmaster (SPASM). In the spring, new Scouts are placed into a new Scout patrol for a few months to learn about Scouting and some of the Scouting skills that they will need. This Patrol is guided by two or three experienced Scouts who function as Troop Guides. In May, new Scouts will be placed into one of the six permanent patrols, and generally remain in the same patrol for the length of their Scouting career within Troop 1128. In their patrols, new Scouts will continue to learn basic scouting skills and how to work within a group under the guidance of the older scouts in their patrol. Each Scout is encouraged to work with his Patrol Leader and Assistant Patrol Leader (APL) to resolve problems and answer questions. This reinforces the philosophy of a boy-led Troop and provides valuable experience for Patrol Leaders to learn and improve their leadership skills. New Scouts will participate in summer camp as part of their patrol. However, at camp, we provide a special new Scout program organized by the Troop Guides, who provide skills instruction and work with the Patrol Leaders to guide the new Scouts to hopefully complete the ranks of Scout and Tenderfoot by the end of summer camp. Chartered Organization: Every Boy Scout troop is sponsored by a chartered organization that receives an annual charter from the Boy Scouts of America to use the Scouting program as a part of its youth program, consistent with the policies of the Boy Scouts of America. Andrew Chapel United Methodist Church has received a charter from the Boy Scouts of America to operate Troop 1128. Andrew Chapel has the important responsibility of approving all adult leaders, and it provides the Troop with a meeting place and storage facilities. It has been a strong supporter of Scouting for many decades. While the Troop is sponsored by Andrew Chapel, the Troop program is completely nonsectarian and welcomes Scouts and Scouters of all faiths. In fact, members of the Troop come from many faith traditions. The member of Andrew Chapel responsible for its Scouting program is the

  • Collecting Scouting Handbooks 1910 1911
    Collecting Scouting Handbooks The ISCA Getting Started Collecting Series If you are now or were ever a Scout, your first Scouting “collectible” was probably your Cub Scout or Boy Scout handbook. Since Scouting was founded in 1908 and then incorporated in the United States in 1910, there have been millions and millions of Scouting handbooks distributed. In this introductory article we will only talk about Handbooks for the Boy Scouts of America. However, if collecting printed materials from Scouting catches your interest, there are many different possibilities that a collector can consider, from both the United States and around the world. Since 1911, there have been eleven completely different editions of the Boy Scout Handbook. The following is a brief summary of each one. 1910 68,900 copies The 1910 Handbook, also referred to as the “Original Edition”, was not new material but rather a compilation of existing information from two other sources. Soon after the incorporation of the Boy Scouts of America in February 1910, there was a huge demand for a handbook that could be used to support the efforts of the early United States Scouts. Ernest Thompson Seton, the first Chief Scout of the BSA, offered to prepare a book that could be used until the first “real” handbook could be developed. He took material from Baden-Powell’s Scouting for Boys that had been published in England in 1908 and his own Birch Bark Roll used by the Woodcraft Indians, an earlier outdoor program youth group, and combined them to make the first Boy Scouts of America Official Handbook.

  • A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’S Historical Membership Patterns
    A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns BY Matthew Finn Hubbard Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert ____________________________ Dr. Terry Slocum ____________________________ Dr. Xingong Li Date Defended: 11/22/2016 The Thesis committee for Matthew Finn Hubbard Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert Date approved: (12/07/2016) ii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the historical membership patterns of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on a regional and council scale. Using Annual Report data, maps were created to show membership patterns within the BSA’s 12 regions, and over 300 councils when available. The examination of maps reveals the membership impacts of internal and external policy changes upon the Boy Scouts of America. The maps also show how American cultural shifts have impacted the BSA. After reviewing this thesis, the reader should have a greater understanding of the creation, growth, dispersion, and eventual decline in membership of the Boy Scouts of America. Due to the popularity of the organization, and its long history, the reader may also glean some information about American culture in the 20th century as viewed through the lens of the BSA’s rise and fall in popularity. iii Table of Contents Author’s Preface ................................................................................................................pg.

  • Learning from the Past, Facing the Future the Boy Scouts, USA
    CASE STUDY 6Learning from the Past, Facing the Future The Boy Scouts, USA Where is there a boy to whom the call of the wild and the open road does not appeal? ~ Robert Baden-Powell A man’s usefulness depends upon his living up to his ideals insofar as he can. It is hard to fail but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. All daring and courage, all iron endurance of misfortune make for a finer, nobler type of manhood. ~ Theodore Roosevelt 86 Mention the phrase “character-forming institution” to an American male of a certain generation, and chances are high he will invoke the Boy Scouts. The most popular youth movement in American history, the Scouts became the preeminent virtue-building organization of the twentieth century, influ- encing a web of other civic institutions. More than 105 million boys have participated in the program, including disproportionate numbers of leaders. To this day, the Boy Scouts remain an icon of the sort of citizen that once made America exceptional and proud. But times have changed, for better and for worse. As this is writ- ten, the Boy Scouts of America is considering filing for bankruptcy. The organization has been tossed about by cultural waves, the most recent relating to changing norms around gender and sexuality. The brand car- ries baggage. Functionally, Scouting has been damaged by declines in volunteering and community activity, the shifting structure of modern families, conflicting messages around basic notions of masculinity, and pervasive cultural swells toward self-advancement, away from character and community.

    Chris Farnitano, MD 324 Shenandoah Dr. Martinez, CA 94553 October 11, 2012 Wayne Brock, Chief Scout Executive Boy Scouts of America 1325 West Walnut Hill Lane PO Box 152079 Irving, TX 75015-2079 Dear Mr. Brock: I am writing to you to strongly protest your actions and the actions of the National Office of the Boy Scouts of America in contributing to the denial of the rank of Eagle Scout to Ryan Andresen of Troop 212 in Moraga and his expulsion from the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of his sexual orientation. I am an Eagle Scout, scoutmaster for Troop 239 of Mt. Diablo Silverado Council, and the father of two Eagle Scouts and one Life Scout who is working towards Eagle. I have been very proud of my Eagle. I worry that my sons and my scouts will view their Eagle Scout Awards now as more of an embarrassment than a badge of honor. I work for Contra Costa County, a governmental agency that does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. I worship at a Christian church, St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Pleasant Hill, that does not discriminate, and I pledge my allegiance to a country whose military does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. The Boy Scouts of America continues to practice a “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy regarding sexual orientation. This policy destroyed many careers when it was in place in the US military, and it is traumatizing our youth as it is practiced in the BSA. My church has refused to serve as a chartering organization for a local Cub Scout pack as this BSA policy conflicts with our religious commitment to welcome all regardless of sexual orientation.
